(Alan Parker, UK 1976, 93 min., 35mm)

This weird and wonderful cult favorite is a loving, musical homage to Prohibition-era gangster films with some very unusual twists: all of the cast members are under 14, and the machine guns spew whipped cream instead of bullets. Bugsy (a pre-Chachi Scott Baio) is an ambitious hood caught in the middle of a war between gangleaders Fat Sam and Dandy Dan. Meanwhile, Bugsy’s love life finds him shuttling between the virtuous Blousey (Florrie Dugger) and hard-bitten nightclub singer Tallulah (Jodie Foster). The splendid production design, delightful performances, and a catchy, Oscar®-nominated song score by Paul Williams (The Muppet Movie) add up to make this the perfect entertainment for viewers of all ages.
